Beth,
I'd like to try to understand the rationale a
little bit better - it appears that ptp2.1 was the inconsistent one, assuming
that we bump PTP major version everytime we bump CDT. Do we have any
concise notion of what it took to increment major versions before (not to
mention the changes going into the 2.2 or 3.0 release from 2.1?). I think
I'm looking for something that we could state in a few sentences, rather than
lists of changes which can be hard to comprehend as to the magnitude of
changes...
For instance, changing the relationship of RDT and
CDT so that we have smoother operation of remote operations would be huge -- and
one possible argument for a major version change ("remote is the
default").
Just wondering - quite often, I have found version
changes to be quite mysterious indeed....

Subject: [ptp-dev] Next PTP release - 2.2
vs. 3.0?
We've gone back and forth regarding what to call the next release: 2.2 or
3.0 (so far we have called it 2.2 in the wiki, for lack of decisiveness :)
)
I propose we pin this down, and call it 3.0, for the following
reasons:
1. It will require an upgrade to the Eclipse release (3.5/Galileo)
as well as the CDT release (6.0 - which goes up a whole point from 5.x)
2.
Changing the major release number when the underlying Eclipse/CDT changes
would make it easier to distinguish which releases go with which
3.
maturity and usability of RDT for remote usage will strengthen
4. More
resource managers coming as well
For some history
PTP 1.0 - Eclipse
3.1, CDT 3.0
PTP 1.1 - Eclipse 3.2 (Callisto), CDT 3.1
PTP 2.0 - Eclipse
3.3 (Europa), CDT 4.0
PTP 2.1 - Eclipse 3.4 (Ganymede), CDT
5.0
proposed:
PTP 3.0 - Eclipse 3.5 (Galileo), CDT 6.0
So
actually, this fits the pattern of bumping the major release number every two
Eclipse releases :-)
For timeframe, so far in monthly PTP meetings
we've estimated this for the August/September
timeframe.
Comments?
